Hi Tom,

As you haven't given the years I'm not sure if the records will be of use, but have you looked at what is available on the Chideock page of the Dorset OPC site?

http://www.opcdorset.com

Happy hunting!

Sorry I forgot the dates - late 1500s to late 1600s.

Thanks for your suggestion. Yes I have been to the OPC and had all that info.

Hi Tom,

You don't show your location so I'm not sure if you can get to the Dorset History Centre in Dorchester, but have you contacted them to see if they hold early records for Chideock?

I'm in Canada although in the past I was making frequent trips to England. I did check with them 10 years ago or so but admittedly not recently.

If you are interested I have my info posted on www.jerrard.ca the genealogy section.

We have some gaps that we have not closed but there is more info available on the net than 10 years ago. I am hoping that someone has unearthed info recently that they may have available now that was not a few years ago.

Thanks
Tom

Hi Tom,

The Parish Registers at Chideock date from 1654 so perhaps the Dorset History Centre could advise you which church your ancestors would have used.

Thank you I know all that and that the family goes back to the 1200s in Somerset and Wiltshire. I have extensive records. Look at my website and you will see.

What I am hoping for is that some one has unearthed some info that will fill some gaps. As I said with the internet these days the ability to communicate with others is much greater than 10 years ago and hoping that this will lead to long unaccessed records.

Tom
